    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES COM (89) 476 final Brussels, 2 October 1989 REPORT on the first year (1988> of implementation of the aviation policy approved in December 1987 (presenttd by the Commission) INTRODUCTION The measures adopted by the Council Decisions on 14 December 1987 on scheduled air services between Member States of the European Community were a first step towards the realisation of a single aviation market in the European Community. The Council Directive 87/601/EEC (1) (fares) and the Council Decision 87/602/EEC (2) (capacity/market access) give the Commission the obligation to publish a report on the application and implementation of these Directives by 1 November 1989. To this end a questionnaire has been sent to the Member States by letter dated 17 January 1989. Replies have been received from all Member States but Denmark. The replies to the questionnaire form the basis for this report, although they were not always complete or in a comparable format. Therefore additional data have been derived from OAG schedule information and ABC World Airways Guide information. It should be noted that comprehensive data on the development of capacity, market access and fares are very difficult to obtain. In these instances the Commission has had to rely on other publicly available sources. The subjcets covered in this report are a) general development, b) fares, c) capacity and market access. Although the regulations are limited to intra-Community traffic, the wider perspectives of the developments on a worldwide basis are discussed in section "A. general developments".

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 (3) establishes a list of aircraft operators which performed an aviation activity listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC on or after 1 January 2006. (3) That list aims to reduce the administrative burden on aircraft operators by providing information on which Member State will be regulating a particular aircraft operator. (4) The inclusion of an aircraft operator in the Union’s emissions trading scheme is dependent upon the performance of an aviation activity listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC and is not dependent on the inclusion in the list of aircraft operators established by the Commission on the basis of Article 18a(3) of that Directive.

  • Clean Air for European Cities
    CLEAN AIR FOR EUROPEAN CITIES Layman‘s Report LIFE11/ENVDE/495 English CONTENT INHALT Why was a project »Clean Air« necessary? 03 Activities in the project areas and their success 04 Capacity Building - Developing legal and practical skills 04 Car traffic in the city - environmental zones, city tolls and eco-driving 05 Public Transport – Clean Busses as support for sustainable transport 06 Bicycling – Most eco-friendly transportation with a need to catch up 07 Shipping – Rarely noticed air pollution 08 Advice and assistance to decision-makers – the NEC Directive and Diesel gate 09 The project’s impacts 10 Foto: fotograf-hamburg.de 2 WHY WAS A PROJECT »CLEAN AIR« NECESSARY? Over 400.000 people within the European Union have suffered from premature death caused by air pollution in the year 2010 only, according to EU-officials. Reasons for this are among other particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, Diesel soot, which enter our lungs or even blood circulation when inhaled. The consequences may be respiratory symptoms, asthma or car- diovascular diseases. Some studies even suggest that particulate matter may lead to dementia, cancer and heart attacks. The social costs of illnesses due to air pollution, cumulate to an amount of 330 to 940 billion Euros per year, states the EU. Goal of the EU-policy is “to achieve levels of air quality that do not give rise to unacceptable impacts on, and risks to, human health and the environment”, stated in the Sixth Environment Action Programme of the European Community in 2001. On this account, the EU adopted the so called Air Quality Directive in 2008.

  • Competition Policy and International Airport Services, 1997
    Competition Policy and International Airport Services 1997 The OECD Competition Committee debated competition policy and international airport services in June 1997. This document includes an executive summary, an analytical note by the OECD staff and written submissions from Australia, Austria, Canada, the European Commission, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and BIAC, as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Although airlines have long sought to enter alliances, an important new development in the last decade has been the crystallization of international airline alliances around major airline groupings. The scope and nature of these alliances differ, but there is a tendency towards deeper alliances involving co-operation on all aspects of the airline business. These super-alliances are coming as close to actual mergers as aviation’s Byzantine regulations allow, raising fundamental questions for competition policy-makers and enforcers. Alliances have the potential both to enhance the level and quality of services offered to consumers and to significantly restrict competition. Why do airlines seek to enter such alliances? What are the benefits to the airlines or consumers? How do alliances restrict competition? What is the role played by frequent-flyer programmes and other loyalty schemes? What remedies should competition authorities consider to alleviate the harmful effects of alliances? What is the appropriate role for international co-operation between authorities? Structural Reform in the Rail Industry (2005) Competition Issues in Road Transport (2000) Competition in Local Services (2000) Airlines Mergers and Alliances (1999) Promoting Competition in Postal Services (1999) Unclassified DAFFE/CLP(98)3 Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Economiques OLIS : 07-May-1998 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Dist.
